Via Composer

$ composer require stadly/http

Usage

Parsing HTTP headers

Header values can be parsed using fromValue on each header class:

use Stadly\Http\Header\Common\ContentType;
use Stadly\Http\Header\Request\IfNoneMatch;
use Stadly\Http\Header\Response\ContentDisposition;

$contentType = ContentType::fromValue($_SERVER['HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE']);
$ifNoneMatch = IfNoneMatch::fromValue($_SERVER['HTTP_IF_NONE_MATCH']);
$contentDisposition = ContentDisposition::fromValue($_SERVER['HTTP_CONTENT_DISPOSITION']);

Header strings can be parsed using HeaderFactory::fromString:

use Stadly\Http\Header\Request\HeaderFactory as RequestHeaderFactory;
use Stadly\Http\Header\Response\HeaderFactory as ResponseHeaderFactory;

$requestHeaders = [
    'Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8',
    'If-Match: "67ab43", "54ed21", W/"7892dd"',
    'Range: bytes=10-100, 200-300',
];
foreach ($requestHeaders as $headerString) {
    $header = RequestHeaderFactory::fromString($headerString);
}

$responseHeaders = [
    'Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary="abc def"',
    'Cache-Control: no-cache="foo, bar", max-age=120, must-revalidate',
    "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=unicorn.jpg; filename*=UTF-8''%F0%9F%A6%84.jpg",
];
foreach ($responseHeaders as $headerString) {
    $header = ResponseHeaderFactory::fromString($headerString);
}

Note that header strings include the header name, while header values do not. The following results in identical headers:

use Stadly\Http\Header\Response\ContentDisposition;
use Stadly\Http\Header\Response\HeaderFactory;

$header1 = ContentDisposition::fromValue('inline; filename=image.jpg');
$header2 = HeaderFactory::fromString('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=image.jpg');

Example usage

Example parsing the If-None-Match request header and using it to determine whether to serve a file. The response headers Content-Disposition and ETag are built for serving the file.

use Stadly\Http\Header\Request\IfNoneMatch;
use Stadly\Http\Header\Response\ContentDisposition;
use Stadly\Http\Header\Response\ETag;
use Stadly\Http\Header\Value\EntityTag\EntityTag;

$entityTag = new EntityTag(md5($filename));
$ifNoneMatch = IfNoneMatch::fromValue($_SERVER['HTTP_IF_NONE_MATCH']);

if ($ifNoneMatch->evaluate($entityTag)) {
    // Serve file.
    $contentDisposition = new ContentDisposition('attachment');
    $contentDisposition->setFilename(basename($filename));
    header((string)$contentDisposition);

    $eTag = new ETag($entityTag);
    header((string)$eTag);

    readfile($filename);
} else {
    // 304 Not modified.
    http_response_code(304);
}
